I Feel Pretty When You're Around

Chapter 7

Quinn woke up the next morning from a loud beeping noise, she angrily moved over to grab her phone from her bedside table, and squinted one eye open so the light wouldn't hurt her. She looked on the screen to see who had sent her a message and was happily surprised when the screen had Rachel Berry covering the wall on her phone. She gave a sleepy smile and went to read the text from the brunette.

R: Hello Quinn, I hope you have had a good morning, I just finished dance class and are on my way to have lunch with my dad, so I will be around your place in a little over an hour if that is okay?

"Holy crap what time is it," Quinn says to herself. She looks at the top of her phone where the clock was and read that it was 12:17pm. Wow what a sleep in, Quinn thought to herself smiling, Quinn Fabray loves her sleep. She smiled and stretched in her bed then chose to reply to Rachel.

Q: Hey Rach, sounds good to me, I'll see you soon. Have fun at lunch with your dad x.

Quinn read over her text message after it was sent and realized that she ended her text with an 'x'. Oh gosh, I hope Rachel doesn't look to far into that, it was the first time that the blonde had sent an 'x' at the end of her text to the brown eyed diva. It will be okay... All friends write that to their friends... I did it to Santana last night. Quinn shrugged off her worries and thought it was time to get up, have a shower and get ready for Rachel to come over.

However, on the other side of town a brunette was sitting in the father's car looking down at her phone and did read too much into the text message, of course she would, she's Rachel Berry, she thinks too much into everything, though she would never tell anyone that she read too much into the text. Surprising she wasn't upset or angry she was amazingly happy about it, so Rachel read over the text message again with a megawatt smile.

Back at the Fabray residence Quinn was showered and dressed into a pretty light blue summer dress, she made her way downstairs to grab something to eat. She was both excited and nervous that Rachel would be coming over shortly; she just wanted everything to go nicely.

She made her way into the kitchen and saw her mother there chopping up some vegetables. "Hey mom... How's your morning been?" Quinn asked politely. Quinn actually doesn't mind spending time and talking with her mother these days, yes there have their ups and downs but the blonde believes that they have formed a nice bond between each other and Quinn feels she has passed the stage of being angry and upset with her mother. She realized how controlling Russell was to her mother and was happy that now her mom has become stronger and confident within herself to never let someone control her like that again. The ex-head cheerleader knew her mom would have stood up for her if she wasn't controlled by Russell, so she doesn't blame her mother for throwing her out of the house, all that blame is on Russell, but she hasn't confided that knowledge to her mother yet, they hadn't spoken about the time when Quinn had been thrown out, Quinn wasn't quite ready to talk about it.

"Oh hi Sweetie, it has been alright, I just did some grocery shopping for dinner tonight... You slept in pretty late I was going to go up and wake you up if you didn't show your face before 1 o'clock... What time will Rachel be coming over?" Judy asked while going back to chopping up the vegetables.

"She texted me at 12:15 saying see will be just over an hour so probably in 30 minutes."

"All right, that sounds lovely."

Quinn choosing to change the subject, while walking over to the fridge to grab a juice and some fruit, "Soooo... What you doing mom?"

"Just chopping up some veggies for dinner today."

"Oh you do know that Rachel's vegan right?" Quinn totally forgot to tell her mother that yesterday.

"Actually yes I did, I believe you told me that a while ago in a conversation, so don't worry darling I'm preparing a vegan meal for us."
